Advertising isn't just about business, if it were ìt'd be a lot more effective and less obnoxious. It's also about power. Being able to control what people see and listen to is powerful. Being able to inject your brand into the public consciousness is powerful. Many brands are familiar to us, and form a part of the culture background, because of advertising, regardless of if we use them.
This makes companies and advertisers feel good, because it's a demonstration of power, and of status.
